T Authors Trivia

1. In age order, from youngest to oldest, the seven Woolcot children are Meg, Pip, Judy, Nell, Bunty, Baby and the General (or Francis Rupert Burnand Woolcot, to give him his full name). What is Judy's real name?

From Quiz Meet the Woolcots: 'Seven Little Australians'

Answer: Helen

The Woolcot family live in Sydney, near the Parramatta River, in a house nicknamed 'Misrule'; they had lived in the Captain's barracks originally, but had to leave after the other officers got sick of the children's bad behaviour. Meg is 16, Pip is 14, Judy is 13, Nell (real name Elinor) is 10, Bunty (real name John) is 6, Baby (real name Winifred) is 4, and the General - the half-brother of the other children - is a baby. Judy's real name is actually Helen, but nobody calls her that, save the Captain when she is in trouble. Bunty reckons that Judy got her nickname because she is always 'popping and jerking herself about' like the wife of Mr Punch. Pip also calls her 'Fizz' because she has a lively personality that fizzes like ginger ale, and is often the one who comes up with pranks.
